Featuring 8-channel switching, dual expression pedal inputs, and dual-color status LEDs, it offers enhanced performance flexibility and intuitive visual feedback. With a durable build and simple plug-and-play setup, it’s the essential companion for musicians seeking seamless effects and preset management on stage or in the studio. ## Description The Essential Companion to your BOSS/Roland Amp - The GA-FC EX provides expanded foot control functionality for select BOSS and Roland amplifiers. It maintains the simple setup and intuitive workflow of the standard GA-FC while offering additional functions for greater performance flexibility. The GA-FC EX builds on the standard GA-FC with several enhanced features. Status LEDs with two colors make it easier to see changes when switching. Review: Currently connected to the back of a Boss Gigcaster, this controls the different virtual effects banks for the Gigcaster 5 and Gigcaster 8. This ex version has the colored lights so it’s easy to see which effects bank you are in when switching around. If you connect a second one of these pedals to the back of the master pedal, you don’t need to switch to the second effects bank. The second pedal acts as the extended effects bank. Overall this is super functional, as I have access to tons of different effects, instead of using a messy and noisy pedalboard. Again, what I’m talking about applies to the Boss Gigcaster 5 and the Boss Gigcaster 8. I have not tried this on the Boss Katana. The pedal switch does come with a cable. Although you may want to purchase a longer cable if you intend to use this anywhere other than at the base of where your Gigcaster or amp is sitting. Very solidly constructed pedal. Like most Boss items, I expect this will always work if it is not smashed around, if the pedal goes through that kind of thing often. I would recommend getting a second, (or third and fourth) for traveling around if you are a touring musician. That way you are not bashing up your studio foot pedals. If you are planning on running your main effects through this, you will probably want your studio pedals working reliably. Without question. All metal pedal construction though, so the pedal should be able to take a normal level of abuse and keep working, if you needed it to. Review: As with everything from Boss/Roland this is really high quality. Using it with my Katana 500 bass head it works as a switch between the settings on Compression, Effects and Drive. ## Features - Foot Controller f BOSS Katana Amplifier Series with 8-channels - 2 Expression Pedal Inputs - Effects Control ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0BCR1BWB2 | | Amperage | 300 Milliamps | | Audio Output Effects | Modulation | | Brand Name | BOSS | | Color | Black | | Connector Type | Barrel Jack (9V) | | Controls Type | Footswitch | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (245) | | Hardware Interface | 1/4-inch Audio | | Included Components | Foot controller, power cable | | Item Dimensions | 44.5 x 13 x 10.2 centimeters | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 44.5L x 13W x 10.2H centimeters | | Item Type Name | BOSS GA-FC EX Foot Controller for hands-free control of BOSS/Roland Guitar and Bass amps | Change Presets and Toggle Effects with your foot | | Item Weight | 454 g | | Manufacturer | BOSS | | Manufacturer Part Number | GA-FC EX | | Model Name | GA-FC EX | | Model Number | GA-FC EX | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Set Name | BOSS/Roland amplifier set | | Signal Format | Analog | | Style | Compact | | UPC | 761294519455 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Voltage | 9 Volts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** BOSS - **Colour:** Black - **Item weight:** 454 g - **Product dimensions:** 44.5L x 13W x 10.2H centimeters - **Style:** Compact ## Images ![FOOT SWITCH - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51S3QnFPmoL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can this be used with a katana 50 watt?** A: I do not think this will work with the Katana 50. I believe it only works with the Kata Artist 100. You can find the answer for sure on Boss's website. **Q: Can other pedals be used along with the gafc?** A: Yes. This foot controller has its own Jack on the amp to control amp effects. Other pedals can be used in the effects loop or guitar input as normal. **Q: Is this compatible with a MkII 50 amp?** A: Only if it has GAFC jack on the back of the amplifier **Q: Is the TRS cable included in this purchase?** A: No cables are included. You would probably want to order cables to the proper length for your setup and make them 90 degree into the foot controller end. You will want to order dual 90 degree TRS cables if you plan to use the GA-FC EX in addition to a regular GA-FC. Dual controllers give even more control to your Katana-100 MkII or Artist MkII. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by S***E on 20 December 2024* Currently connected to the back of a Boss Gigcaster, this controls the different virtual effects banks for the Gigcaster 5 and Gigcaster 8.

Using it with my Katana 500 bass head it works as a switch between the settings on Compression, Effects and Drive. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by D***N on 26 June 2024* It works just as it’s supposed to. Great for switching between multiple patches in the Katana. I think it can switch between 9 different channels/patches. It did not cast a magic spell and make me good on guitar however, I wasn’t expecting it to do that. But would have been a nice surprise! ## Frequently Bought Together - Boss GA-FC EX Foot Controller for BOSS Katana Amplifiers - Boss BT-Dual Bluetooth Audio MIDI Dual Adapter - Boss Katana Gen 3 100W 1x12" Combo Guitar Amplifier --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/501087382-foot-switch](https://www.desertcart.at/products/501087382-foot-switch) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-07-12*
